TO Fort WORTH.

THE GAZETTE congratulates its people
this morning. The addition of another
grand trunk railway is step further in
the direction of prominence. By the
first day OF October next there will be
centered in Fort Worth the Missouri Pa
cifc, the Texas and Pacific, the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
the Houston and Texas Cen
trail, the Fort Worth and Denver, the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande, and the st.
Louis, Arkansas and Texas, seven great
railway corporations, affording our trade
outlet in eleven different directions. All
these roads, save one, are in operation
now, and the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas Will be here il four months.
THE GAZETTE congratulates it's people
because the acquisition of the st. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas signifies something
more than the addition of another great
railroad-it means that Fort Worth as
railroad center is acknowledged to be
such by railroads. This acknowledgment
will find, as it is now finding, ex-
preston in the location here of
railroad agencies, most patent factors
in the building up Of towns. These will
be the forerunners Of distributing agen-
cies, business houses, manufacturing en-
terprlses, people snd capital. Not one
doubt can now linger in the mind of any
man as to the future of Fort Worth-that
future has for its fulfllment
broad foundation, and all we need now is
vigilance and outstretched arms to
welcome those who will seek in this new
land location for business and investment
for capital. The race is but fairly begun,
but now, thanks to pluck and liberality in
those who have made Fort Worth all
it is, the track is made smooth and plain;
we must work, but never more need we
fear or doubt. Trunk lines will win.

GENERAL IANn OERInE
BOULANGER MATCHED.
r. NJ. HALL,
Commissioner

General Boulanger is being closely
watched by the German government, and
his movements will be met by counter
movements at every turn. In October he
proposes to mobilize the French army for
the qualification of witnessing how the
boys will deport themselves, ostensibly.
The German government believes that the
real object is to asssll that nation, and
the German army will also be modified
and put in readiness to meet any attack.
Boulanger has inspired his soldiers with
new zeal and courage; he has awakened
in them the spirit of martial yalor and
inspired them with an ambition to re-
trieYe the losses of France and Te-estab-
lish her national glory. tits not improb
able that this desire to try the chances of
war with the Germans has reached q
point where even General Boulanger will
find it beyond his power to control.
While war may break out at any time,
the month of October will be particularly
perilous, and will be watched by all ma
tions with great solicitude.

that no railroad could afford to pass Dali

will begin on Monday to build from
Greenvilfe to Fort Worth via Plano and
Grapevine, on line that leaves Dallas
just fourteen miles to the south. The

tbis fact is not to be found. When great
railroads acknowledge the uneQualed

end is not far OF. Poor old Dallas.

New York Times, May II.
Colonel j. G. Reiff returned yesterday
to this city from Texas, where he has
been spending the past fortnight upon
concerns of the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas Railroad Company, of which he has
just been elected director. He explains
something of that c0mpany's new plans
which promise to have an important in
iuence upon the development of the
southwest. Over 800 miles of new road
are to be built by his company forthwith.
The Kansas and Gulf Short Line Road
has been acquired by purchase, and
foaq important branch lines are projected,
the money now being in hand to pay for
construction. One branch will start
from the main line north of Pine Bluff
and 60 to Little Rock; another will leave
the main line near Texarkana and 90 to
Shreveport; third will run from point
on the Sherman branch to Dsilas and
Fort Worth, and the fourth wil from
the main line connecting Corsicsna and
Hillsboro. All the new Vines lie
through territory that will pro ode large
local traffic, while many importan5 trafe
centers will be given connection With Ter
ritory from which they are now sAusSut.

Kansas and Gulf Short Line, tha2{tthe

Colonel Reif predicts that the 300
miles of new road projected will be in
operation within the next twelve months,
probably by the end of this year. The
interest OF Texans in the development of
their state, the enthusiasm of
each towns people for their
own particular community, was IL

have TO be made in order to definitely deter

that they have the constitutional areas and are
